*Malcolm Kelly*
Malcolm Kelly is the odds on favorite to be the top wide receiver selected in this draft despite some injury woes that have some teams questioning his ability. Kelly’s agent contacted all 32 NFL teams giving them access to medical reports that show the thigh bruise that has kept him from working out and missing some action near the end of the movie is sound. Kelly will be holding a private workout on April 9^th and it will go a long way in ensuring he doesn’t fall down the boards.
